Safety Information

  • Always ensure the vehicle's engine is off and the parking brake is engaged before beginning installation.
  • Disconnect the vehicle's battery before working on electrical systems to prevent short circuits or electrical shock.
  • Consult a professional if you are unsure about any installation steps, especially wiring.
  • Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated to prevent water damage or electrical issues.
  • This device is an aid for parking and should not replace careful driving and direct observation.

Setup and Installation

Installation typically involves mounting the camera unit at the rear of the vehicle and connecting it to the vehicle's power supply (e.g., reverse light circuit) and a compatible display monitor.

  1. Choose Mounting Location: Select a central location at the rear of your vehicle, typically above the license plate, that provides a clear view and allows for secure mounting.
  2. Secure the Unit: Use the provided mounting hardware to securely attach the camera unit to the chosen location. Ensure it is stable and does not obstruct any vehicle functions.
  3. Wiring Power: Connect the power cable of the camera unit to the vehicle's reverse light circuit. This ensures the camera activates automatically when the vehicle is put into reverse. Ensure proper polarity.
  4. Wiring Video: Connect the video output cable from the camera unit to the video input of your compatible display monitor.
  5. Test Functionality: After installation, re-connect the vehicle's battery. Put the vehicle into reverse (with the engine off and parking brake engaged for safety) to test if the camera and sensors are functioning correctly and displaying on the monitor.
  6. Cable Management: Route all cables neatly and securely, away from moving parts or heat sources, to prevent damage and ensure a clean installation.

For detailed wiring diagrams and vehicle-specific instructions, please refer to your vehicle's service manual or consult a qualified automotive technician.

Operating Instructions

Once properly installed, the 3 in 1 Reversing Camera operates automatically:

  • When the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear, the camera will automatically power on and transmit video to the connected display monitor.
  • Simultaneously, the integrated radar sensors will activate. As the vehicle approaches an obstacle, the system will provide audible alerts (chirps) and visual distance indicators on the monitor.
  • The audible alerts typically increase in frequency as the vehicle gets closer to an obstacle.
  • The display will show the live video feed from the rear of the vehicle, along with graphical overlays indicating obstacle proximity and direction.

Always use mirrors and direct observation in conjunction with the camera system for safe reversing.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the camera lens and sensor surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to ensure clear vision and accurate sensor readings. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspection: Periodically check all wiring connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or looseness. Ensure the unit remains securely mounted.
  • Environmental Factors: While the unit is weather-resistant, extreme temperatures or prolonged exposure to harsh elements may affect performance.

Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
No image on monitor when in reverse.No power to camera; loose video connection; faulty camera/monitor.Check power wiring to reverse light circuit. Ensure video cable is securely connected. Test with another monitor if possible.
Sensors not detecting obstacles or inaccurate readings.Sensors are dirty or obstructed; faulty sensor.Clean sensor surfaces. Ensure no debris is blocking the sensors.
Image is blurry or distorted.Dirty lens; damaged lens; poor video signal.Clean the camera lens. Check video cable for damage.
